The Barreau-Badard family has owned the estate since 1925; Jean-Claude Berrouet, who spent four decades as cellarmaster at Pétrus before going independent, has consulted since 2013. What you're buying is that address and that lineage at a price well below the plateau's marquee names.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2021 opened with severe spring frosts across Bordeaux, then a cool, wet summer — and finished with a late stretch of warm, dry weather that rescued what survived. The result is a lighter, fresher vintage than the years before it: red-fruit focused, with the acidity to improve in the cellar through 2030 and beyond. Wine Enthusiast: 94 points. Drink now with a 45-minute decant, or hold through 2042.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePAIRINGS :\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eRoast leg of lamb with rosemary\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ethe classic Bordeaux match — weight and structure align, savory herb notes echo the seasoning\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eBeef short ribs braised in red wine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ecollagen-rich meat softens the tannin; dark-fruit core carries through\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eDuck breast with cherry reduction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePomerol's red-fruit profile mirrors the sauce; earthiness grounds the richness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Empire Merchants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42223954722975,"sku":"6909","price":129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0232\/3203\/products\/IMG_1031.jpg?v=1664932371","url":"https:\/\/eastsidecellars.com\/products\/chateau-certan-de-may-pomerol","provider":"Eastside Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
